[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 721884, member: 4653"] I'll explain how and this might only be a small percentage of the routes or maybe a large %. I only know my route. If I leave lunch until the end I can get most of my deliveries off before my pick-ups. My pick-ups are the closest stops to the center. Per the contract, I need to take lunch between the 4th and 5th hour, plus a two ten minute breaks to be taken between the 2nd and 3rd hours and the other between the 6th and 8th hours. On my route, this really hurts management on the 3-day ride. By forcing my lunch in the middle of the day I can't finish my house calls. I must now drive 3 miles from my last pick-up to the house call section. I must now finish that section and drive 5 miles back to the building. How much are we losing doing this? This is 8 freaking miles! I don't get it. No left turns are allowed to save .3 miles and 1/8 gallons of fuel , but I am forced to take my lunch at 1:15 to add 8 miles and 1 gallon of fuel to my day? Its a wonder we make any money... [/QUOTE]
